Re: [WiX-users] Simple MSI failing: Error 3: -2147287038

Just jump in with a reminder that there is an MSI log for this issue and there is no custom action being called for dism.exe, so based on that log this is not a CA issue with running dism.exe. The VersionDatabase property is 100, so it's pretty old. InstallInitialize fails, the error in the vicin

@eyoung100: no, I dont have any roaming profile. @Phill Higland: the command prompt recognizes de command dism on any directory, so maybe we don't even have to specify a directory to it. It works for me just as "dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /NoRestart" -- View this

Did you type that command in a Admin CMD box and see what happens? It does not work for me either. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Simple-MSI-failing-Error-3-2147287038-tp7592771p7592792.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list ar

Re: [WiX-users] Simple MSI failing: Error 3: -2147287038

Your call to dism has the path '[WindowsFolder]SysWOW64\dism.exe'. If you open an Admin CMD box and type your full command you will get a better explanation of the error. SysWOW64 specifies the 32 bit operating system files. Error 11 is returned which indicates that you cannot service a running

I'm running the installer on Desktop, so it's not on a Networked drive. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Simple-MSI-failing-Error-3-2147287038-tp7592771p7592788.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --

Re: [WiX-users] Simple MSI failing: Error 3: -2147287038

AFAIK, you can test this on a virtual machin as long as the installer is started from a non networked drive. IE, on the Virtualbox Virtual Disk, but none of the shared folders you mapped as Drives... Carter Quoting JoeMarks : > @eyoung100: So it mean I can't test this on a Virtual Machine?

@eyoung100: So it mean I can't test this on a Virtual Machine? @Phill: Yes, I also posted this question on stackoverflow to improve my chances of getting an answer :) That sounds interesting, any way to check if the installer is indeed being run again? Thank you for your replies. -- View this

Re: [WiX-users] Simple MSI failing: Error 3: -2147287038

The log is available on stackoverflow, has no evidence that it is trying to run a custom action, and contains this line: MSI (s) (04:D4) [17:20:10:936]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REMOVE property. Its value is 'ALL'. So it does not appear to be the failing install log, I think the same MSI is being

I thing the mailing list hides the "raw" text, it's only visible on the thread in here Even if I remove the CustomAction from the installer i get the same log file, so I guess i

Re: [WiX-users] Simple MSI failing: Error 3: -2147287038

That error is just a "%1 could not be found.", implying that something (most likely dism.exe?) could not be found. I see no trace of the code you used - didn't make it into your post. --- Phil Wilson On Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 2:50 AM, JoeMarks wrote: > Hi everyone! > > I was doing som

Hi everyone! I was doing some changes to an existing installer, and I needed to enable .Net 3.5 on Windows 8. This can easily done with the comand "dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /NoRestart". So I was doing a simple Installer to add to my Bootstrapper that would run
